I can't find any reference to Efrian Ruiz Echeverria sponsor "Como 123 No Hay Dos" anywhere else on the net and am wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to what it is / was ?
Using Google I get the rough translation "123 As no two"
Relevant answers maybe credited and used in a forthcoming blog.
Thanking you in anticipation of your responses.

The company sponsoring the car was 1-2-3, which was known for a bunch of products but the only one I can think of is a cooking oil. "No Hay Dos" is more loosely translated as "Nothing Better". I forget where I read that, however. Probably a really old issue of Classic and Sports Car.

"No hay dos" is literally translated as "Not have two", or "There is no second one like this".

Maglioli recalled the specific product as a soap powder for washing clothes. I have never established whether or not he was right.

It's an Henkel brand. It should the Mexican brand for what is known as Persil in the UK.

unfortunatly that is wrong
Henkel lost the rights to Persil brand as some sort of war sanction. Unilever is making and selling Persil in the UK to their own formulation and there is no relation at all to the good stuff from Germany
